They can choose whether to come for an initial 2.5 years or for 5 years and at the end of 5 years may well be eligible to settle in the UK and later to become British.
Those granted visas will be permitted to work in the UK, to set up in business and to study.
We can advise on whether an applicant is likely to be eligible for such a visa and on the information and support documents which will be needed. We can complete and submit an application and advise on what to be aware of when looking ahead to future applications for indefinite leave to remain and British Citizenship.
